that's how we win elections. we don't win elections by insulting voters. >> in the wake of the election a lot of republicans, not just jindal, are doing soul searching about how they can better appeal to groups that voted for obama. romney apparently didn't get that memo. joining me now, cnn contributors and republican strategist, mary matalin and charles blow. you have been tweeting extensively on this. you said you were livid at governor romney, that the comments were offensive. you said he needs to take a look in the mirror. what do you mean? >> i think he needs to figure out what were his own flaws. what were the deficiencies with his campaign. i get it, okay, he was talking to 300 of his top donors, people who raised almost $1 billion and he needs to explain why he lost and it's easier to blame somebody else than to look in the mirror and blame yourself for your shortfalls but i think it's mitt romney who has to figure out why did he get 27% with the hispanic vote. mary worked for george w. bush white house.

frpts mitt romney lost the election but may have made history. his loss could go down as the last presidential campaign to bank on the white vote for a win. i spoke about this to al cardenas and patrick milsap who is newt gingrich's former campaign chief of staff. i asked what republicans can do to do better in 2016? >> i think at first we have an outreach program. we are banking on votes that are not necessarily in the bank and counting the votes that clearly aren't necessarily there. >> al, i would not be going out on a limb saying that the gop has a problem, and does your party have a future in national elections if it doesn't diversify? >> well, if it can't, it's not just political malpractice but political suicide. we just need to do a better job and as i tell my friends on the center right and conservative right, we don't need to change our values, because they are winning values, but we need a long-term commitment and real commitment to the minority communities. we can't lose the hispanic vote 4-1. we can't lose the asian vote 4-1. we can'

the american people have spoken and said we're re-electing you, he can raise taxation if he wants to, can't he? >> there's probably a fair argument as what really drove the president's victory, was it in fact because he said that we should tax billionaires and millionaires, if that's the reason he won i guess you would call it a mandate. it was certainly a closer election this year than it was in 2008 but you know, close doesn't matter. the president won and their team gets to govern in the senate and the presidency and so i think what's important now is republicans and democrats in washington do what they haven't been able to do for four years and that is to find a way to get our country back to work and out of debt. this is an immoral and unsustainable problem that we've got. we're $16 trillion in debt. there's some fault for the president. the republicans now have to find a way to find that middle ground in the next 60 days or we go over a cliff and it's bad for the entire country. so there's work to do and we need to do it without capitulating on our principles. that's cut spendin

what's more, white voters played a big role in the president's re-election. although romney won white voters nationwide the picture isn't quite so clear-cut when you look at swing states. in iowa, wisconsin, new hampshire, colorado and minnesota, president obama did better among white voters than either john kerry or al gore did. president obama won in some key swing states with predominantly white voters. many of them live in the suburbs or rural areas. take iowa, where white voters made up 93% of the electorate. more than half of those voters, 51%, backed president obama to 47% for romney. it was the same breakdown in new hampshire where white voters were also 93% of the electorate and 51% voted for president obama. there's also the fact that many new hampshire voters live in rural areas, yet president obama won those rural voters by 16 points, 57-41%. as all the numbers suggest, it's not quite as simple as congressman ryan suggests. urban voters can't take all the credit for the president's win. joining me now is cnn contributor david frum who has a lot to
